Sarah's POV The next morning, the design studio felt different. I stepped in with my folder tucked under my arm, my heels clicking softly against the tiled floor. I walked straight to the main table and dropped my folder onto it. “Good morning,” I said calmly. A few voices responded. I opened the folder and pulled out a set of printed layouts. “We’re not repeating yesterday,” I continued. “Today, we start actual work.” I spread the papers across the table. “Initial sketches. Concepts. Layout ideas. I want to see what you’ve come up with.” There was a pause. Then one of the designers, a tall man I vaguely remembered as Daniel, stepped forward, placing his sketch on the table. “This is a rough concept,” he said. I picked it up, taking a deep look at it before placing it back down.
